Bloesem

Studio Stef Bakker

Written about and shown before on Bloesem but always a pleasure sharing the work by Stef Bakker who is NOT an interior designer and Not an art director but Stef Bakker = inspired by all creation ...

and yes he is from the Netherlands ... his style and sense for spaces is totally up my alley ... loving the rooms he touches. The images shown in this post are from differen projects he has done for different private spaces. 

A lot of grey and dark tones throughout his portfolio but that doesn't bother me a bit in fact it even makes me consider painting a wall in my home grey too .... the combination with wood is just perfect and I have a lot of wooden furniture in my home so that could work well. The laether couch in the image below is probabbly a vintage one from the sixties or seventies and you just have to be lucky to score an item like that ... probably more luck in Europe than here in Asia.

Do like his style would love to hear your feedback!              [MORE IMAGES AFTER THE BREAK]

Not Sure if you are already planning your summer vacation ... believe most of you are covered in snow right now ... and I can only imagine this being a lot of fun ... but if you are longing for somehting warmer then start taking a vritual trip to France with me today ... I just discovered this amazing place in the middle of nowwhere where two former city slickers have gone back to 'the beginnins' ... 

Amsterdam couple Michel Mulder and Sofie Sleumer invite you to visit  their d ’ u n e   î l e ... only an hour and a half away from Paris. Medieval cottages, each interior uniquely designed, exquisite food and beverages and the soothing simplicity of nature. 

Ben and Tatjana from Studio Aandacht went to visit the couple last summer and luckily for us they took some beautiful pics for us ...         [MORE PICS after the break]

Our Pinterest inspiration today is a collection of beautiful pictures of light decorations. A simple string of lights can do so much to a room. Its magical, calm and happy all in one. I myself have a slight obsession with lights and I love Wyeth's pinterest board. Have a magical Christmas this year!  ~Sufiya

Monday's quick start: Heidi Lerkenfeldt

Hello, I hope you have had a lovely weekend? What did you do? I started preparing for a photo shoot for next week. A company here in KL asked if I could do the styling for their new online shop and collection ... great of course.

While looking for some inspiration online I found the beautiful portfolio by Danish photographer Heidi Lerkenfeldt (via Ellen's album). ALthough she is not the stylist her images give me lots of ideas how I would like to see the shoot done too next week. If you know who the stylist is or are let me know! ~irene

 

Decorating my living room

I really felt like cleaning out some shelves and re-organise some things in our dining area. Perhaps the loss of my dad and all the sadness around it made me want to start fresh again ... you recognise this feeling? Some people go out sporting or shopping I like to stay in my own home and find comfort in the things I cherish ... so last Sunday while my boys were playing outside I gave myself some 'me' time .. while listening to some music I enjoyed moving my things around. 

Usually I forget taking pictures but this time I thought let's share it with you my dear readers, you have been so supportive of me lately ... so I hope you like my small decoration ideas. 

I always keep things simple in my home, group things together and try to give proper attention to even the smallest object.                            [CONTINUE READING]
